i To all' whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRDERIGK W. SMITH,"

of Chicago, State of Illinois, have invented an Improvement in Paper Boxes, of whichthe following is a specification:

My invention consists in a new and improved form ofbox made of stii paper. The boxes may be made of one or more pieces of paper, but to be fully complete it would require two. -And I hereby proceed to describe my invention, sot-hat others skilled inV the art of making paper boxes may be ableto make the saine.l 'I y l Figure 3 represents the body-of the. box cut from one piece.

A is the front of the box.V E is the bottom; B, the back; F, the top, and U the cover. a

stitute the sides ofthe box. C' is a flap, to secure the cover in place. To form the. box, the sides a. a -au are turned 4up at right angles with body A, and 4the .front A and the sides a a a a are then place the part E at right angles with A; and I3. The laps e e are then secured to the outside of the sides au, and the sides'bL b are then turned up and secured over both. Ihe parts b b are'then doubled over the points ia. ya and securely fastened. The cover C isthen bent over, and 'the parts ff are secured nerside of the parts cf.4 c".,"and the parts 0'/ e are then doubled over'the'parts ,ff-and securely fastened. .A .pocket for the Hap is formed in the front of theboxfbydnserting an additional piece opaper of the form shown in Ii-ig.' 4, rthe part Dbe' b b forma neck, over which the sides formed /pleted and open.

the tape and pulling up the cover'U.

bent over so as to,-

to 'the ihing in eontactwitll the l frontAmd thesidesd d being against the by c' 0', c c, and f f are closed, and the box is thereby rendered dust-proof. This neck and thepart forming thepocket areshown at D dd, Fig. I. 4ig. l represents the box coml Fig. 2 representsthe box closed.

The box is easily opened Aby taking hold of Ihc front of the box being' lower than the beck renders it very easy to turnv back the tops of the inclosed papers, so ets-readily toy inspectY theheadings ofthe same.

The part shown in Fig. l nlay be left out of boxes madegfor some purposes, and the con-- tents of the box Will`form, in connection with the'part A, a pocket for the flap.` i A box thus formed is of cheap construction, ald very serviceable, being handy,stron g, ,and secure, the cover C and top I, ith'the lia-p c', being` so formed, inconnection with the triangular sidesc c, that no Weight of papel: or other articles on the inside against the top F can open the box. The box is thus fully as secure when the liep is in place as if itwvere tied with tape 4or otherwise fastened.

What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,- is- 4 The paper box herein describedthat is, the body ofthe box cut from one I piece of paper, with the 'flapsff and the parts 0"" c, the overlapping parts c c lv and the pointed ends a a', together with the overlapping parts b b', es shown in Fig. 3, formed and, .gether as and-for the purpose' specified and put toset forth'. 4 Y
